plenty of pro on first pitch, properly respected and looked after, the oak sapling will make an excellent runner. Second pitch is "balls out," no pro on solid 4c ledges that require bold mantling moves and therefore gets its well deserved HVS status. Once on the 2nd pitch there is no going back.

βeta: I think this is safer done in a single pitch - the upper arete is still bold this way, but you\'re not looking at a factor 2 fall straight onto the belay

βeta: Cleaned the route of brambles and ivy. A good route deserves its star.
